i OPINION IN OHIO
3IILLEH CASE
The following
handed down bv
the Ohio Miller
Is the opinion in full
Judge J. II. Burford In
liauor case from Mul-
hall In which
tha Anti-Saloon roagiio
protested the Issuance of a license to sell
liquor:
Torrltory of Oklahoma District Court
Logan county Judge's Chamber! Juno
23 1000.
No. 3018.
In tho matter of tho appeal on potlt'.on
of Ohio Miller for llconso to retail lluuors
ut Mulhall.
This is an apifbal from an order of the
Board of County Commissioners of Logan
county granting tho application of Ohio
Miller for license to sdll Intoxicating li-
quors at rfjtall In the town of Mulhall.
The first contention of the appellants
Is that tho petition does not contain; tho
signatures of 'thirty resident tux-payors
of the ward in which if Is proposed to
soil llauors.
On the trial before tho board tho Pro-
testants admitted that tho following
named petitioners wore quailed slgmers
to wit:
A. B. Cony Goo. W. Rottormun R. E.
termnn O. W. Lobdoll J. W. Phillips O.
Gllflllaii C. I. Reeves. G. W. Pottljolm
Walter Joyce Enos Kuhlman V. Gu.ber
J. . Demster A. T. McMillan F. N. Rot-
Collins C. F. Kemp and P. N. Holt six-
teen in number. The tax rolls as shown
by the leeords introduced in evidonco
show that tho following named petition-
ers are tax payers In tho town of Mulhall.
viz. :
E. M. Blair C. R. McMillan J. J. Don-
13. M. Blair C. R. McMillan. J. J. Don-
alioe F. E. Reeves C. 13. Carson A. G.
Tloyt E. P. Barton Geo. Bucheis E.
Champion W. B. Scott S. E. Norris A.
Champion Frank Klncald Chas. W.
Brown W. M. Dennis Win. Knlpe Jr.
W. E. Combs and Moses Miller eighteen
In numbei making m tho aggregate ovor
t'hirty. I think tho evldenco farly sup-
ports the finding of the board that these
persons wore all residents of tho sec-
ond ward or district of the 'town of Mul-
It apears from the record that the pe-
f lioner offered oral testimony to provo
who of the petitioners were tux-payers
In the ward; th's prooi was objected
to-by tho remonstrants as not the best
evidence; the objection was overruled and
exception allowed. This ruling of tho
county board was erroneous but is not
availuble In this caso for the reason that
the protestants afterwards Introduced tho
tax rolls. It Is one of tho primary rules
of evidence that tho best evldenco of
which a matter Is susceptible of bolng
proven must bo used to the exclusion ot
secondary evidence. As a general rule
the names of tax-pnyors are upon tho
assessment lists and 'tax rolls! these rec-
ords are the best evidence of whether one
is a tax payor and must always be re-
sorted to In sucli cases. If one Is In fact
a resident of the ward and has property
therein liable to toaxtlon but whldh for
any reason has been omitted or o'erlookcd
I have no doubt such person would be
a qualified petitioner and In such case
there being no record evidence the facts
m'ght be" shown by oral testimony. When
remonstrance Is filed alleging that tho
peirlonors aro not qual.fied tho burden
Is on the applicant to provo their qua'ifl-cu!-.rs
and this can only bo done by
leg.ii and competent evidonco as to tho
place o fresldonco of a petitioner; it fre-
quently rquies tho testimony of tho pe-
t timer himself to determine such ciues-
tlon. In other cases tho fact of one's
re-idenco it ay bo so open notorious and
settled hj to be capable of proof by his
iielfcl'il-ors o- others. But tho question
: to t"etnor one is a taxpayer is more
difi'.cult r' 1 1 oof. If he Is assessed and
his name appears on tho tax rolls this Is
cof.cn.s evidence; on tho other hand ho
H'iy vp charge and control of moro or
less taxable proporty and to all out-
w.i -1 a . arance ho may be tho owner
of taxablo property yet such proporty
may bolong to his wife or to his employ-
er or he may have custody of it as agent
trustee g .trdlan executor or adm.nTstra-
tor nnd when the name of such petition-
er does not appear upon any record as a
tax-payer tho presumption Is that ho Is
not liable for taxes and this fact could
only be overcome by tho tostlmony of
such petitioner himself or othor equally
us satisfactory and positive proof.
Tho nex: c ntentlon of protestants Is
that tho applicant had while doing busi-
ness under a for.Tior llconso during the
precodlng year violated tho liquor laws
by obstructing his windows and doors.
Sec. 3107 Statutes 1S03. provldos that:
"It shall bo tho duty of all vendors of
mult spirituous and vlnou3 liquors un-
der the provisions of this act to keen
th windows and doors of tholr respoc-tif-
places of business unobstructed by
screens blinds paint or othor artlclaa."
Any applicant for a license who haa
Uouitrd thi. "tL'tuii of thr -t.nute at any
time within one jour prior to lis appli-
cation for license cannot be rc-l!censed.
The evident purpose of this law Ib to
require all places wheru liquors aro sold
at retail to be kept open to public v!ow
so that any and all Infractions of tho
law may be observed by persons on or
passing along the sidewalks In front of
such Dluces of btisdness and a plaoo of
bU8lnos where liquors arc sold whloh in
m constructed or obstructed that the bar
where tho liquors are soM or th per-
sons to whom sold cannot be soon and
obaerved by tho passerby from the out-
sldn Is clearly guilty of violating tho
spirit and Intent ot this statute. It is aft
.uch the lntont of the law that tho por-
sons who deal and drink at the bar of a
saloon shall be open to public vlow as It
is that the oller shall bo oxposod to
view. This Is a necessary police regula-
tion to aid In prohibiting and delecting
violations of the statute prohibiting sales
to minors intolxcated persons eto. The
evidence shows that Miller's place of bus-
iness was properly oonatructetd with gloss
doors and windows in such mannor that
the Interior of tho building was unob-
structed from the sidewalks. In one win-
dow there were a few green plants grow-
ing which did not In any substantial man-
ner obstruct the view. On the other side
there were a number or wottles placed
on a rock in the window whloh to some
degree obstructed the Interior view from
the outside but the evidenca is not very
iratlsfactory or posttlv6 as to whethor this
window or the bottles obstructod the side
or portion of the saloon where tho liquors
were sold; I am unable to determine from
the evldenco that these partial obstruc-
tions In any manner obstructed a vlow
of tho bar or part of building whore li-
quors wore sold. There was testimony to
the effect t'hat tho curtains over tho win-
dows were usually pulled down on Sun-
days; there was no proof that any per-
sons woro In tho building on Sundays or
that any liquors woro sold or drank thoro
n Sundays. In the absence of any proof
showing that persons wero In the saloon
visited It or that liquors -were sold on
Sundays I do not think pulling tho coir-
lalns down on Sunduys when the law pre-
sumes the place of business Is unoccupied
nnd business suspended constitutes such
a violation of the law ns will defeat the
applicant In securing license.
Upoiv tho record beforo me I think tho
applicant Is entitled to llconso; the ordor
of the board granting llcenso is affirmed
nnd tho clerk of Logan county Is di-
rected to issue tho license on production
of treasurer's receipt for tho sum of two
hundred dollars and tho payment of all
costs and fees except tho costs mado by
the remonstrants and tho remonstrants
lire ordered to pay Uie costs In this court
and the costs occasioned by tho remon-
strance In this court. The clerk of the
court is ordered to record this decision
und order in tho journals of tho court
and transmit a certlefld copy to the coun-
ty clerk.
